  8. Dartmoor, Devon

    Hart Tor Double Stone Row, looking west with Black Tor on the horizon. The Bronze Age row of about 120m terminates at its eastern end at a cairn enclosed by kerb stones, some of which are shown here. Although damaged by past tin workings, about 100 stones remain. Another single and shorter stone row lies to the south, also terminating in a cairn.

  9. Hackaday: Replicating The World’s Oldest Stringed Instrument. “Posts on Hackaday sometimes trend a little bit retro, but rarely do we cover hacks that reach back into the Bronze Age. Still, when musician [Peter Pringle] put out a video detailing how he replicated an ancient Sumerian instrument, we couldn’t wait to dig in.”

  11. One of Dartmoor's finest stone rows for today's #StandingStoneSunday - Cosdon Hill triple row, with terminal cairn and stone circle.

    Visited on a scorching hot St George's Day, April 2011.

  12. Dartmoor again for today's #StandingStoneSunday - after the longest row last week, this is Stalldown stone row, with the tallest stones of any of the Dartmoor rows.

    Visited June 2010 on a walk from Ivybridge train station.

  13. Going minimalist for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering: the small stones of Butterdon Hill stone row, running a mile or so past Butterdon Hill Bronze Age cairns northwards to the Long Stone on Piles Hill. (Portrait, needs a click)

    My first stonehead visit to Dartmoor, 12 years ago yesterday on a grey day.

  14. A moody day in South Wales for #StandingStoneSunday.

    This is Carreg Wen Fawr Y Rugos stone row (something of a rarity in this area), up on the limestone hills above Llangynidr, with marvellous views north across the Usk valley to the Black Mountains.

    The row consists of a very long, tapering recumbent stone (if upright it would be over 2m tall) and at least 8 other smaller standing stones.

    Visited on a drizzly day in May 2010.
